Chapter 16

That key drove her completely crazy during her evening out with the students.

The evening was great. Going out with real Parisians who had no idea who Cade Corey was, people her own age who seemed to have few responsibilities beyond enjoying their student life while they could. They went from a bar to dancing at some party full of people in their twenties who acted like teenagers. Or rather, they gave a whole new perspective on what other people in their twenties got to act like. It was a lot of fun.

And it was Paris. And she was part of it.

But she kept thinking about that key question. She kept wondering if he was waiting for her in a dark shadow in his laboratoire. Or breaking into her apartment, with plans to ravish her in her bed.

The possibility lurked in her all night, calling her away from the partying, pulling at her darkly.

She tried to ignore it. She tried to focus on the fun evening that was much healthier and better for her than any stupid obsession.

But the possibility drove her mad. She spent the whole evening aroused, on edge, trying not to show it. Her nipples kept peaking against her silk top, as thoughts of darkness and skin would sweep through her, their continual arousal confusing one of the students who started trolling to see if she was interested in him.

She wasn’t. She couldn’t even spare a thought to him.

When a taxi dropped her off at four in the morning, she was all one maddened, thwarted longing as she climbed the stairs to her apartment. She kicked her boots off her throbbing feet and fell into bed in her smoke-filled clothes and told herself firmly that she had made the right choice for her evening.

But she felt like a drug addict making the choice to spend one evening straight.

Which was ridiculous, because surely you couldn’t get addicted to anything on just one dose.
